The Client called me in to design and build a bar. The brief was, it must be movable, have some backlite panels, have a bar leaner, and have a defined length and width.
An initial design was developed along with the price and discussed with the Client, with a green light to proceed. It was calculated the weight of the bar would be approximately 750kg, then with the shelves filled with glasses, bottles and other bar equipment, the benchtop filled with food or drinks and a live load of people leaning or using the bar leaners, it could have a load up to 1.5ton. The steel frame to support the bar was designed and finalised, with castor wheels having a total load capacity of 2ton. Plywood carcass provides the structural integrity of the Bar. The back has frosted sliding glass doors. The side panels are recycled NZ Native Rimu with a fluted finish. The front of the bar has 3 light boxes, with powdercoated geometric aluminium panels. The geometric pattern was selected because the pattern changes as you gaze at it, it's showing that there are multiple perspectives, but also life is not what it seems, so its wise to keep an open mind. Within the light boxes are LED strip lighting powered by power banks as there was no floor power outlets available for the LED lighting. The bar leaner is Australian Black Wood and the benchtop is a composite stone.
